Salmon BLT

This was good! I used to get this frequently at the Highway 7 Bar and Grill in Bainbridge, NY, before it closed.

It's just a salmon filet. I used a skin-on Atlantic salmon fillet, frozen and cooked in a sauté pan.

With bacon (previously cooked), lettuce, tomato, on a bulkie roll with mayo.

Here are some pictures of preparing this meal.

I cooked the salmon earlier in the day and refrigerated it.

When it was time to make the meal, I microwaved the salmon for 30 seconds. This works better because I don't like to cook the salmon in a sauté pan next to the deep fryer because it makes a mess.

I also left out the tomato because it's too slippery.

I tried making the salmon serving smaller, and also cutting the fillet to half thickness to make it easier to eat as a burger. We'll see how it works later.

It worked great and the 2.0 oz. serving size for just the salmon is fine with the bacon and other sandwich ingredients.

I really liked this preparation and will make it this way again.

I got frozen salmon burgers this time. They're a nice size and only require 5-6 minutes per side in a sauté pan from frozen. One burger is 85 grams (3 oz.) and 150 cal.

Morning prep for dinner.

Cooking in a sauté pan is also handy because it can be used to crisp the bacon and toast the buns at the same time.

Toasted bun, mayo, lettuce, bacon, salmon burger, tomato.

It takes 10 - 12 minutes to cook the frozen salmon burger in a sauté pan, and it kind of makes a mess. I decided to try cooking it in the sous vide (1 hour at 140°F) then finishing it in a pan, along with the bacon and toasting the bun.

This worked well and I'll do it this way in the future.
